NEWS - Princess Australia new team members

Alan Paterson and the team from Princess Yachts Australia (PYA) announce the addition to their crew of two big-boat sales professionals, Steve Dittmar and Ian Swan.

PYA said Dittmar has sold, delivered and managed luxury motoryachts for more than 16 years in the Caribbean and Australia. He holds a Master Class V Skippers ticket and has an intimate understanding of the needs of the owners of large luxury boats.

Swan has a long and successful career in the Australian marine industry, having sold and skippered many large luxury vessels, PYA said. This includes an extensive knowledge of luxury-boat owners’ requirements, an invaluable source of information for Princess’ clients.

"Our business is continuing to grow considerably and we have achieved this through an absolute commitment to the requirements of those who purchase a Princess motoryacht from our range," said PYA dealer principal, Alan Paterson.

"We have a range of new models being released onto the Australian market over the coming months, and we identified the services of Ian and Steve as being invaluable for us to manage the enquiry, sales and ongoing owner support that we pride ourselves on", he said.

PYA says it is now servicing the needs of its owners throughout Australia and NZ, with leading dealers in each of the key boating markets. The appointment of Dittmar and Swan, both based out of its Australian head office at Hope Island Marina (Gold Coast), will further enhance the ultimate big-boat ownership experience offered by PYA.
